Yondae'eo or simply Yondae is a new take on the old conlang I started years ago. The conlang is written in Hangeul and can easily be romanised using a system very close to that of modern Korean. However, since many words are borrowed from Chinese or via Japanese Kanji, a mixed script similar to that of Korean Hanja-Hangeul can be used.

Actually, in Chinese 場 does not mean market, it means place. 市場 is one of the Chinese combo-words for market (keep in-mind that Chinese is a multi-syntax language). Thus, 大學場 is valid which means "place of the greater learnings"; this would also be valid for the Chinese but, such usage never survived into the mordern age.

The Korean and Japanese have kept this usage however, as in 道場 "place of practice" or "place of training".

Thank you for clarifying. I thought it meant that based on association with 市.

Isn't 道 the same word known in English as Dao/Tao? As in the religion of Daoism?

I'll try to post up a phonology list soon. The reason why ㅐ is for /aj/ is simply because the phonology of Yondae'eo doesn't match that of Korean's 100% and think about it, if you join ㅏ and ㅣ you get ㅐ (a + i) which is roughly /aj/.
